Option And Structure Lease Agreement This Form

Use a OPTION AND STRUCTURE LEASE AGREEMENT THIS template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What this option lease agreement does

The Option And Structure Lease Agreement This Form records a property lease that includes an option or structured right, such as a renewal, purchase, extension, or other negotiated choice. The parties identify the premises, lease term, rent, option conditions, exercise process, notices, and signatures. Using signNow, the sender uploads the agreement, reviews detected fillable fields, assigns signature and date fields, sends it to the owner, tenant, or other parties, and stores the completed PDF with its audit trail. State law may impose additional notarization or recording requirements.

Who uses this lease agreement

Real estate

Real-estate owners, property managers, and tenants use the option and structure lease agreement to define premises, rent, lease duration, option rights, notice procedures, and signing responsibilities. They can route the document to each party, preserve the completed PDF, and retain the audit trail with property records.

Legal and construction

Legal and construction teams use the agreement when a property lease includes project access, development conditions, renewal rights, or an option structure. They can assign role-based fields, collect signatures in sequence, and preserve amendments or schedules with the executed lease.

Real-world lease agreement workflows

Real-estate and related teams use signNow to route lease agreements, collect signatures, and retain an auditable execution record.

Real estate

Martin Properties uses signNow to execute real-estate documents online, including lease agreements requiring signatures from property owners and tenants.

  • Mobile and offline signing for property transactions

Tim Martin, founder of Martin Properties, says his team processes and executes documents online with built-in security and compliance. That workflow is relevant to lease agreements because parties can review, sign, and return documents without coordinating an in-person meeting, while retaining an electronic record of the signing process.

Legal and construction

Legal and construction teams can adapt the same signNow workflow for option clauses, lease amendments, and contractor occupancy agreements.

  • Role-based signing for multiple parties

For a lease agreement containing an option structure, signers can receive the document in a defined order, complete assigned fields, and receive a completed copy. The audit trail preserves signing activity, helping teams organize the executed agreement alongside related property or project records.

Lease agreement issues to check

  • Option terms may omit the exercise window, notice method, option fee, or rent adjustment formula, creating uncertainty when the option is exercised.
  • Lease parties may sign different versions, leaving the executed agreement inconsistent with the negotiated option and property terms.
  • Missing initials beside amendments or schedules can make it difficult to show that every page and attachment formed part of the agreement.
  • Unclear signer authority can create a dispute over whether an owner, tenant, agent, or property manager had power to bind the party.

Best practices for lease execution

Accurate party details, controlled versions, assigned fields, and organized records reduce disputes over the lease and its option structure.

Verify every party and option term

Before sending, confirm the legal names of the owner, tenant, agents, and any guarantors. Check the premises description, rent, term, option fee, exercise window, notice address, and governing-law provision against the negotiated transaction.

Control the lease version

Use a controlled template for the option and structure lease agreement, then update transaction-specific fields without changing approved clauses. Label amendments and schedules clearly so every signer can identify the complete document.

Map fields to responsible signers

Assign each signature, initial, date, and acknowledgment field to the correct person. Use sequential routing when the owner, tenant, broker, attorney, or other participant must sign in a defined order.

Archive the signed agreement securely

Download the executed PDF and audit trail after completion. Store them together in the property record, apply the retention policy required by applicable state law, and restrict access to authorized personnel.

Legal standing of electronic lease records

An electronically signed option and structure lease agreement can support admissibility when the parties demonstrate intent, consent, attribution, and reliable record retention under ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. ch. 96, and applicable state law such as UETA or New York’s ESRA. Wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, court orders, and certain family-law documents remain excluded.

Lease agreement troubleshooting questions

Resolve signing, authentication, plan, and legal-scope questions before sending the option and structure lease agreement to its parties.

Business includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, and audit trails at $8 per user per month with annual billing. The agreement can be uploaded, fields assigned, sent, signed, and retained within the signNow workflow.

Business Premium adds bulk send at $15 per user per month with annual billing. It can help distribute substantially similar lease agreements, but each agreement still requires accurate property, party, option, and rent information.

Yes. signNow supports mobile apps, so an owner or tenant can review and sign the assigned fields from a mobile device. Confirm that the signer can access the full lease and every attachment before signing.

The audit trail records signing events, timestamps, and document history. Under ESIGN and applicable UETA or ESRA rules, enforceability also depends on intent, consent, attribution, and retaining a reproducible electronic record.

If a lease requires notarization, signNow signing alone does not replace the required notarial act. Check the property’s state law and the notary’s permitted process before treating the agreement as complete.

The Business plan is $8 per user per month with annual billing, while Business Premium is $15 and Enterprise is $30. All paid plans include 100 signature invites per user per year; verify overage charges before high-volume use.
